Two 16-year-old boys stabbed to death in London

A police spokesman said officers were called at around 5.10pm on Saturday to reports of people injured in Sewell Road, Abbey Wood and Titmuss Avenue, Thamesmead.

Two 16-year-old boys have been stabbed to death in two locations around a mile apart in south-east London, the Metropolitan Police said.

Detectives are investigating whether there is a link between the two killings which are believed to have happened at around the same time.
